Hopefully he will be there but actually have done proper research before the interview. A lot of Bay Area sports fans care about/are interested in Cal sports and they should be able to talk about them consistently on a Bay Area sports station. Especially if they want more listeners.

I cant stand Raplh, he knows nothing and just interupts with the worst questions not to mention his voice is horrible. All he cares about is being a homer for the Giants and Sharks and talks more from a groupie than an actual fan

Uh Huh!

What did Barbieri do wrong last time around?

LR

uh huh,

Barbieri made his usual backhanded or openly critical comments. He also said Riley wasn’t a “real quarterback”. The reason he siad that is because he confused Riley with Steve Levy who, as you know, was quarterback, then a fullback and converted back to quarterback.

Ralph doesn’t follow college football and, in particular, has no clue about Cal. There’s a hint of hostility in his limited reportage on Cal, as well, which I suspect is a residual of what I call “skinny envelope syndrome”. Let’s put it this way. Bay Area residents of Barbieri’s vintage didn’t go to USF or Santa Clara as their first choice. I suspect Ralph was denied admission to Cal and never got over it. There’s a pretty good chance this happened to Ratto, too.
